Stanton et al Reference Stanton, Sethi, Dale, Phelan, Laban and Eliahoo1 have produced a thought-provoking study on emotional intelligence, and, in a selfless move which I hope will add to their findings that psychiatrists score highly on social responsibility scale, I would like to correct their assertion that Sir Lancelot Spratt was a product of the Carry On films. He was in fact a recurring terror in the Doctor in the House series.
